FSSH researcher participates in discussion on mental illness and medical assistance in dying
On March 3, Dr. Thomas McMorrow, Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, joined CBC Radio One Saskatchewan for a discussion on mental illness and medical assistance in dying (MAID).
The discussion examined questions such as:
- Should people suffering from mental illness be able to access MAID?
- What should the rules be around who is eligible?
- Who should be able to decide when someone has suffered enough?
Dr. McMorrow contributed his legal expertise following introductory comments from Canadian Senators Paula Simons and Denise Batters, who discussed different sides of this debate.
